Chapter 176: Shattered Bombardment [Happy New Year Wishes Everyone]
Putting aside Lijie, who had already been hit by a critical blow and her whole body burned to gray, Rhodes had no more leisure time to laugh at her now. The Guardian Soldier was much more powerful than he had imagined, and although Rhodes had already launched all the summoned elves to attack, it had only consumed about one-third of the opponent's strength so far. And the Patronus soldier seems to know very well that Rhodes is the "mastermind" behind all this, so he has been trying to move in the direction of Rhodes and completely eliminate this threat. But fortunately, it is currently in the scene card [Casali in the Night] controlled by Rod, and the control of this scene card is in Rod's hands, and the distribution of the scene can be freely adjusted according to Rod's will. Because of this, although the Patronus is working very hard to move forward, as soon as Rhodes turns his mind, it will be immediately sent back to its original location. At this moment, the Patronus had been trapped by Rhodes in a canyon-like gap in Kasara, but even then, it could only be able to trap its movements.
This is not the way to go.
Rhodes gritted his teeth, at this moment he was already sweating profusely all over his body, continuously changing space, resurrecting cards, and summoning elves. Even with the endless stream of soul power obtained from the Fantasy Magic Stone, it could no longer be sustained. But now seeing that the Patronus Soldier still looks at ease, Rod can't help but feel a little irritable. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted to death before grinding this guy to death. Even if the soul power is enough, his spirit is not unlimited.
Do you want to use that trick?
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but hang his left hand and glanced at the card in his hand that depicted a huge magic guide turret, the dusk of annihilation. This is the strongest single attack card of all the cards Rhodes has besides Legion's Horn, and it is in front of it. Legend intermediate level and below all have to kneel, with Rod's forbidden aura, in addition to the level above the side of the gods, the worst is also a serious injury. However, it also has very distinct shortcomings, one of which is that it is too powerful to attack a small nuclear bomb. Summoning Casali at Night without releasing it is basically the rhythm of redrawing the map. There is also the issue of charging time, of course, for the tall guardian soldier in front of him, aiming and shooting are not a problem. But the problem is that Rhodes is well aware that the Patronus's reflexes ignore the strength of the opponent, which means that if he is unlucky, even an attack that is strong enough to penetrate the continental shelf of Lydia's Holy Spear will be reflected back intact. Rhodes is not interested in using this magic cannon to test whether the other party's reflex ability can resist, in case it is really bounced back. Then it is self-defeating, even if there is a prison of mad love, it will definitely not be able to stop the bombardment of the enhanced version of the magic cannon. That's why Rhodes would rather grind with other summoned elves than activate [Dusk of Annihilation].
Unless Rhodes can find an opportunity, an opportunity when he judges that the opponent will never be able to activate the "Reflex" skill, taking advantage of this opportunity is enough to deal a fatal blow to the opponent. And such an opportunity does exist.
In the game, if a split second strike damage to a Patronus can cause its health to drop significantly. Then the Guardian will enter the state of rage, after entering the state of rage. Its defense and offense will increase, while the chance of its Reflection skill will decrease, but its Reflection damage will be tripled. In other words, if the player's attack damage is reflected after that, they will get twice as much damage, and if they are unlucky, they will get another critical hit. That's basically a rhythm of full blood and seconds. This is another reason why most players will choose to grind blood instead of a lot of output. You don't want to be killed by your own attacks, do you?
But with great risks comes great gains.
During the five seconds between the Patronus transitioning to Berserk mode, its body undergoes a transformation, during which time the Patronus is defenseless. Any attack hits a critical hit and deals triple damage. In the later stages of the game, there is no shortage of maniacs in Rhodes' guild who specialize in detonating the Patronus with instant damage, forcing the opponent into berserk mode, and then increasing the instant damage to get rid of it in seconds. Rhodes had used this tactic a few times, but he gave up after taking too much risk. Unless it's a player who has a particularly tacit understanding. Otherwise, it would be basically impossible to unleash an attack that would be enough to wipe out half of the Patronus' HP damage in just five seconds. And once the Guardian Soldier enters the berserk mode, the team is a matter of minutes. As a team commander, Rhodes is a long-term commander, so it is naturally impossible to put his luck on this unreliable spike strategy, so after trying and testing several times and confirming that this is not a tactic that most advanced players can use anytime and anywhere, Rod gave up this tactic. Because it has very high requirements for the player's tacit understanding, even in the starlight group, there are only a few people who can cooperate so well, such as Rod, Canary and Lucky Angel. And human beings are not machines, there will always be times when they miss, once they miss, they will face the crisis of annihilation, and this kind of thing will definitely not be done. The people below can show themselves, but as the president and the head of the regiment, stability and obedience come first for Rod.
But now.................. It seems that if you don't do it, you have to do it. There is only one chance, summoning elves is more obedient than the player, as long as you grasp the right time, then you should be able to succeed.
With Celestina, Celia, Greyhill, Madaras, and Syros, it should not be difficult to deal more than half health damage to the Patronus in one hit, as long as the reflection is not activated. The problem is that next, you have to summon [Dusk of Annihilation] within five seconds before the fury erupts, and then bombard it. If the timing is not right, too early or too late, it's all over.
In every sense of the word.
"Well, I'll leave it to you."
If the card is gone, it can be summoned again, but if the person is gone, it will really be over, which is why Rod and Anne and Marlene did not attack. As for Lijieβββ she has completely lost the will to fight, and even her self has drifted to the sky, looking like an out-of-body soul. Under self-preservation, people forget everything that is not good for them, and after extreme shame, they will fall into a coma to escape from the reality in front of them......... This may also be a way to protect yourself.
No language is required. Using the connection between the souls, the five summoned elves learned of Rod's plan in an instant, and in short, it was only one sentence.
"Don't play, let's zoom in together."
"Cut!"
Selestina whipped her wings and flew backwards, dodging the Patronus' waving arms, and the whistling waves of air turned into tangible wind blades that flew through the night sky. Countless air flow blades flew towards the devil lady in front of her, but with the raging burning of black flames, those air blades instantly disintegrated and dissipated in the air, and there was no trace.
"It's easy to say, this guy is so big, how do you do it!"
"Sister, please calm down..............."
Celia followed Celestina's side as always, escorting her, as if that was how the sisters got along. Celestina charged ahead, Celia guarded, and Gresil and Madaras were nowhere to be seen, and being in the sight of the enemy was the most obvious defeat for them as Calesdu.
But now, they are about to join forces to carry out an unprecedented assault on the monsters in front of them.
"I didn't want to use this trick, but I listened to my master's orders. It doesn't seem like it's going to work. β
Suspended in mid-air, Selestina muttered to herself. Then she gritted her teeth and stretched out her left hand. Celia, who was next to her, instantly understood what her sister meant, and stretched out her right hand to hold Celia's hand. Then, the pure white angel and the pitch-black devil raised their long swords at the same time and aimed at the monster in front of them.
"Sister Greyhill, where's they?"
"My sister will definitely cooperate with you, and you don't need to worry about this. You'd better worry about yourself. We haven't used it in 1,230 years. If you dare to burn Miss Ben's skirt, go back this time and see how Miss Ben cleans you up! β
As Celestina spoke, black flames suddenly erupted from the body of the devil's eldest lady, and soon, the black flames that swept up completely enveloped the girl in front of her. But the weird thing is that if you look closely, you can see it. Although the black fire that was enough to devour all things was beating incessantly on the girl's white and delicate skin, licking the palm of the hand, making a slight sound of burning skin, the palm was still white and moist, without the slightest scar. What's even more surprising is that even though she was holding her hand, Celia's palm didn't even touch a trace of black flame.
And in the next moment, silver-white flames erupted, and the holy flames that emerged from the War Angel Maiden surged around as if they had life, and then wrapped the user's whole body like black flames. And at this time, the guardian soldier who had been attacked suddenly raised his head, and his two white eyes rolled towards the ground so quickly, and he quickly locked on to the target in front of him.
"Discovered! You idiot, are you slacking off because you haven't practiced for too long?! β
"It's my sister, your fluctuation is too ..............."
"Shut up! Do you dare to question Miss Ben's judgment? β
In the face of Celestina's complaints, Celia obediently closed her mouth, she had been with her sister for so long, and if she didn't know her character, it would be self-inflicted. And now, the giant had stretched out three of his arms and grabbed at the sisters who were suspended in the air in front of him.
"Boom, boom!!"
A series of magical brilliance suddenly burst out from the ground, hitting the arm in front of him, the soul bird stretched its wings and flew through the air, and soon, with its movements, a huge net condensed by dazzling lightning shrouded the body of the guardian saint soldier, the little mermaid swam quickly, stretched out her hands, and with her movements, the cold wind that was enough to freeze the soul blew down like this, and soon, I saw that the three thick and huge arms were instantly solidified, and the glittering ice crystals covered the surface of the skin, Wraps around the original limb. But it only lasted for a moment, and the icy restraint was reduced to powder by the giant's sudden trembling.
But that's enough time.
"Celia!"
"Yes! Sister-sama!! β
The black and silver flames roared more and more, and the girls raised their long swords in their hands, and then swung them down with all their might, and soon, with their movements. The black and white flames intertwined and turned into a fiery dragon, which slammed into the giant in front of him. The surging flow of energy poured down, and even the surrounding space became distorted at this moment. The Patronus's body shuddered and fell backwards as cobweb-like slits emerged from its chest. began to spread rapidly throughout the body.
βββββοΌοΌοΌβ
With this fierce attack, the Patronus let out a roar like a muffled thunder for the first time, and it suddenly stood to its feet, bursting with an unprecedented bright magical light on its body, which began to dim again at the moment when the light shone. Immediately after, then, the cross-shaped black sword light pierced through the body of the giant in front of him in an instant.
Greyhill and Madaras emerged from the sky leisurely, and the white elves wrapped in white robes flashed with chuckles. The short sword in his hand quickly shattered and split, turning into dust and parting. Then, a frenzied, brutal red hurricane sliced through the sky and stabbed into the chest of the Patronus. But the Guardian Soldier also reacted at this time, and the remaining three arms suddenly turned, squeezing the petite body in the palm of his hand.
"Giggle............ Giggle............... Cute prey, call it. Call it! More pleasure for me, more pain for me!! β
Although his body has been twisted and deformed by the grip. But Heros, who was still holding the bright red blade, tilted her head as always, drooling and letting out a maniacal laugh. And with Xiluosi's scream, the two chains on the girl's shoulders suddenly exploded, and then I saw that they quickly split into dozens of chains, and they were stuck in the body of the guardian soldier, and the blood sprayed was scattered in all directions along the chains. The dazzling bright red blade slashed quickly, delivering the heaviest blow to the enemy in front of him! The bright red blood stretched out with unprecedented malice, and I saw that the skin on the surface of the guardian soldier began to burst wildly, and the blood vessels buried under the skin protruded one by one, shattering. It melts back together with flesh and metal to form a disgusting color. Then, a sharp sword pierced through his body, and quickly began to roam the huge body of the guardian soldier.
"Uh-oh-oh-oh-ohββββ!!"
The battered Patronus let out a roar like never before, and with the roar, a frantic air current erupted, sweeping everything around it to the ground. And the original iron blue body began to appear unprecedented red at this moment, a hot breath emanated, the guardian soldier raised his head, and the originally white pupils began to gradually turn into bright red and dazzling brilliance.
The angels and demons quickly retreated, and the white elves chuckled and disappeared into the shadows, only the necromantic puppet with a giant sword still let out a maniacal laugh and turned its head to look at the night sky in front of them.
The clouds that obscured the full moon were split and pitch black, and the huge magic cannon just streaked through the sky along an invisible trajectory, slowly stopping with a coherent roar of machinery. Under the influence of the forbidden aura, the magic cannon in front of him was no longer just a railgun, but around the thick and huge base, hundreds of black holes covered the entire sky, the gears began to move, and the metal bearings twitched rapidly, representing that the machine of death had awakened from its slumber.
"Sneerββββββ!!"
Snow-white mist erupted from the side of the cannon shaft, and a dreamy cloud floated in the night sky, and a golden, gorgeous magic array swirled and appeared in front of the cannon muzzle. A little bit of golden light shone in front of him at this moment, overshadowing the original moon and the brilliance of the trip.
The next moment, the metal cannon began to roar, converging into a huge, boiling pillar of flame and roaring down.
Hundreds of rains of light mercilessly enveloped the ground, powerful, high-temperature beams that pierced the earth, melting everything they touched. Instinctively, the Patronus stretched out his arms and crossed them over his chest. But with the rain of light, the arm, which seemed almost indestructible, shattered and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. Immediately after, countless beams of light passed through the huge body and blasted towards the ground. The steam and dust from the earth fused together, and the earth trembled and shook like the waves of the ocean. The white-hot energy replaced everything else, becoming the sole ruler of the world in front of him.
And in the next moment, the huge body completely disappeared into the light curtain in front of him, and there was no trace.
The world is flipped upside down.
Rhodes felt only a flower in front of his eyes, and then the grassland in the night shattered into pieces like a mirror, and the next moment, they were back in the metal hall they had been before. However, unlike before, in the center of the metal hall, a mixture of red pieces of meat and metal that looked like boiled shrimp was lying there quietly, without the slightest sound.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It worked.
PS: It's the new year soon, how are you going to spend this evening? (To be continued......)
